Hello to all, Very excited to have found this group ! There is A LOT of great stuff in here. I live in Canada and am the proud owner of a 1994 Oldsmobile cutlass convertible, with the LQ1 3.4 DOHC Engine. My screen name reflects the color of the car which is in the Quasar Blue. My youngest daughter calls it the 'smurf' for that reason. It has since been disabled due to a water inlet housing cracking in half, and I have had ZERO luck finding this part. I have inquired at several salvage yards in Canada, as far out as BC and as well in the US as far South as Florida. I am exploring the option of attempting to have that part 'welded' but am unsure of how it will hold up. The car was bought used locally and since my ownership of the vehicle, the transmission has been replaced, the timing belt twice and oil pump driveshaft was giving me quite a drip. With that all fixed, It now sits on blocks waiting for me to find a solution to this part. I do hope that someone can assist in some way as my hunt looks bleak. GM discontinued the part not too long ago and cost about 15 dollars new at that time. I do enjoy GM vehicles. My very first car was a 1988 Chevrolet Baretta ! THAT, was fun little ride. Again, Hello to all and looking forward to hearing from you ! Rueben

Hello all ! Glad to be a part of this unique community. I saw my 94 on the roadside for sale and fell in love with it almost instantly. It wasn't long before I was driving it, top down as soon as I could ! For the time being it sits waiting for me find or fix as part that is small but oh so vital to the cars running. I recall me being the 3rd owner of this particular car, and I bought in Canada from a man who bought in the US. It is an American car that jumped the border haha. For those who may be cringing at the 'stripes' on the hood. First it's hockey tape, and second it was a small tribute to the late EVH. It has since been removed with zero residue to the finish. I came to this site while looking for a part for this car so I can once again the road with top dropped, but am also thinking that I will enjoy hearing from others who share in the joy of these beautiful cars. For now, Thank you and look forward to hearing from you ! Rueben
